Updating Multiple Systems

About Updating Multiple Systems

You can use the nvfwupd command with the -t targets=<json-file> argument and a JSON file to update the firmware on multiple systems. The update is performed serially on the systems.

Refer to the following sample targets.json file:

[
   {"ip": "192.168.1.10", "user": "admin", "password": "admin"},
   {"ip": "192.168.1.20", "user": "admin", "password": "admin"},
   {"ip": "192.168.1.30", "user": "admin", "password": "admin"}
]

You can specify a host name instead of the IP address in the ip field.

When you specify the -t targets=<json-file> argument, the following arguments to the nvfwupd command are not supported:

--background
show_update_progress

Procedure

Run the nvfwupd command and specify the -t targets=<json-file> argument:

$ nvfwupd -t targets=../targets.json update_fw -s updparams.json -y -p \
    nvfw_DGXH100_xxxx_xxxxxx.x.x.fwpkg

Example Output
